Evgeny Kuznetsov, RW

Evgeny Kuznetsov could very well be the top prospect the Capitals have.

He scored a hat-trick against team Canada in the World Junior Championships. You obviously have tremendous talent if that's something on your credentials.

The only issue here is that Kuznetsov is hard to bring back over from Russia.

The Capitals took him in the first-round of the 2010 draft. While he seems completely ready to play at a professional level in the NHL, it doesn't seem like we will get him over to the states anytime soon.

When we do, the NHL will need to prepare for the damage he can do.

In 144 games in the KHL, Kuznetsov has tallied 46 goals and 44 assists at only 20 years old.

Tom Wilson, RW

Tom Wilson is one of the younger guys of the talented prospects. He was born in 1994 and still has some growing up to do. He can make a splash in the NHL one day with his size and potential.

He weighs in at 194 pounds and stands tall at 6'4". The Capitals took him in the first round of the 2012 NHL Draft, just five picks after they took Filip Forsberg.

Hockey's Future states, "What remains to be seen is whether the big winger can develop his offensive skills – it will be the difference between Wilson being a top 6 forward or a 4th-line energy player."

While he needs to develop his offensive skills, he does the possess the size to be efficient if he works on his game.

I mean, he is only 18 years old. The sky is the limit for what he can do.

Wilson has been tearing it up in the OHL for the Plymouth Whalers since 2009.
